Government of India Should Recognise Speciality Training Abroadby Dr. Praveen Kumar Da - 12698 reads, based on 20 votesIt gives me immense pleasure to write on this popular website. I am more than certain that it will go a long way in creating more awareness of the problems faced by Indian doctors (trained abroad) when they decide to return home. One of the most important factors on this front is the failure of the MCI and the Government of India to recognise speciality training abroad.

Fight the Politically Motivated Reservation Policy in Indiaby shapers19 - 6030 reads, based on 18 votesIt is really cruel and pathetic that the Government has resorted to this desparate policy of Reservations to sustain its political lifeline.[I wish to say that I am not against all the sensible means of support,even very minimal reservations, for all the progress in all fields for the deserving class of the socially backward people].

They have reached the abyss of misusing parliamentary privileges to devise most crooked means of reservations to buffer their failure in bringing about social progress of the deprived by sensible pol...More

Multiple Index Related Affirmative Action (MIRAA)by zolt - 6508 reads, based on 13 votesFollowing is the concept note on MIRAA - Multiple Index Related Affirmative Action. I propose this as a new and comprehensive system of Affirmative Action taking into account not just caste but also economic conditions, region, educational qualifications, gender and status of a first generation learner.
